Sarah Hofius Hall | The Scranton Times-TribuneA competitive holiday tradition started with a steel box.Justin Gagliardi, a college student at the time, welded the box and put his younger brother’s Christmas gift inside.For more than an hour on that Christmas Eve more than 20 years ago, family watched as Joseph Gagliardi worked to cut the box open to free the remote control dog toy placed inside.“I thought, ‘I’m not going to let next year slide,’” Joseph said.For the Gagliardi brothers, what’s inside the box — or the concrete, ice or diaper, or buried in the neighbor’s yard — doesn’t matter.
